Protestantism

Protestantism is one of the three major divisions of Christianity along with Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity. In 1517, the Ninety-Five Theses of Martin Luther established a new branch of Christianity that rejected the Pope's authority, forming a branch without a central leader and with more rights. In the Protestant faith, divorce was allowed, women could be preachers, priests could marry, there was no central leader, and the belief opposed indulgences sold by the Catholic church, and Protestantism became the predominant religion in Northern Europe, Britannia, the United States, and in several countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
